Energy Observer Vessel seeks shelter in Morro Bay
–Morro Bay is a great town to live in not just because the weather is great and the scenery outstanding, but because we get to see some of the most unique sailing vessels that often find a port in a storm stopping here.
The weekend of May 1 and 2 was no exception. Thanks to force-10 gale winds blowing out on the ocean, a spectacular vessel sailed into the local harbor and docked at the Morro Bay Yacht Club. The Energy Observer was on its tour of California waters and heading to San Francisco after stopping at Long Beach in Southern California.
